Iโ€™m an AI Engineer with 5 years of experience delivering end-to-end machine learning applications with a passion for building scalable AI solutions where safety isnโ€™t an afterthought - itโ€™s a priority. Iโ€™ve taken multimillion-dollar machine learning projects from prototype to production, turning complex models into clear business value. For me, AI isnโ€™t just about algorithms, itโ€™s about solving real problems, driving decisions, and making technology work for people. ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ˆ ๐ ๐ž๐ญ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž? My fascination with data began while studying neural networks as an undergrad. I deepened that interest at Cereโ€ฏLabs, researching NLP and computer vision, then at Think360, where I built creditโ€‘scoring models, revenueโ€‘forecasting solutions, and end-to-end ML pipelines for several $100Mโ€‘plus clients. After 3.5โ€ฏyears of handsโ€‘on industry impact I pursued a masterโ€™s in Data Science at Duke to formalize and expand my skills. My current focus is on building value-driven Agentic AI systems with safety and alignment at their core. ๐–๐ก๐จ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ˆ ๐š๐ฌ ๐š ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐š๐ง? I am a realist, I have a decade long meditation practice, I love reading non-fiction, and I always choose tea over coffee.
